Sandy Cook

Moving to the Finger Lakes was when Sandy Cook began her painting journey. Oil and pastel are the mediums Sandy uses to create her paintings. She loves to paint anything in nature. Landscapes, sunsets, and animals are her favorite subjects. Sandy also enjoys setting up and painting a still life. Sandy has been inspired to paint sights across the United States, Europe, and of course, the Finger Lakes.

Sandy has learned oil and pastel painting by taking classes from accomplished artists and teachers such as Dick Kane, Barbara Doyle, Patricia Tribastone, Pat Rini Rohrer, Lyn Asselta, and Elizabeth Apgar-Smith. Artist friends have also been instrumental to her understanding of the mediums by giving her valuable critiques and most importantly, encouragement.

Sandy’s work can be found at the Arts Center of Yates County in Penn Yan or at Millport Landing in Millport, New York.

Painting to Sandy is a journey. When she paints, Sandy travels to quiet places, wonderful memories, and to the joy of creating
